Philippa later went on to study English and History at Cambridge University. She worked for the BBC as a scriptwriter and producer and then in publishing as an editor. She has written many books including the modern classic Tom's Midnight Garden for which she won the Carnegie Medal. She has been awarded the OBE for services to Children's Literature. Sadly Philippa died in 2006 at the age of 86.
